Maintenance

Once I decide to purchase, what do I need to know to maintain my wood?

Maintenance is easier than ever with today's modern finishes. Polyurethane finishes simply require sweeping or vacuuming and an occasional touch-up with a spray cleaner made for polyurethane. The most important part is to put felt feet under all of your furniture legs to prevent scratches. Please refer to the 'Shop Talk' section of our website and CD to help with the little extras.

How does Cherry hold up against bugs?

Cherry contains neither oils such as cypressine, found in cypress, nor resin, like heart pine, but the heartwood does have a natural rot resistance. The resistance is not as dramatic as heart pine or heart cypress.

If I stain my cherry with a mahogany stain, will the color of my floor change once the cherry starts to darken naturally?

Our cherry darkens to a brownish-red as it ages. By using a mahogany stain, you will be speeding up this process.
